Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil permettant un forage à circulation continue, ledit appareil comprenant un corps tubulaire qui comporte un passage principal qui s'étend le long d'un axe longitudinal du corps tubulaire à partir d'une première extrémité du corps tubulaire jusqu'à une seconde extrémité du corps tubulaire, un passage latéral et un passage de commande, le passage latéral et le passage de commande s'étendant tous les deux à travers le corps tubulaire dans le passage principal, le corps tubulaire contenant un ensemble soupape qui est destiné à fermer le passage principal lorsque le passage latéral est ouvert, et à fermer le passage latéral lorsque le passage principal est ouvert, l'ensemble comprenant en outre un connecteur hydraulique qui est destiné à se fixer autour du corps tubulaire, le connecteur comprenant un boîtier ayant une surface intérieure qui est comporte une première et une seconde rainure qui, lorsque le connecteur est fixé autour du corps tubulaire, forment chacune un canal qui s'étend en une boucle continue autour de la partie extérieure du corps tubulaire, au moins un passage s'étendant à travers le boîtier depuis une surface extérieure du boîtier dans chacun des canaux, le corps tubulaire comprenant en outre deux rainures qui s'étendent autour d'une surface extérieure du corps de telle sorte que, lorsque le connecteur est fixé autour du corps tubulaire, le boîtier du connecteur soit en prise avec les rainures, les rainures limitant donc le déplacement longitudinal du connecteur par rapport au corps tubulaire et le passage latéral ainsi que le passage de commande reliant chacun le passage principal à l'un des canaux formés par le connecteur.
